Another helpful tip: If you ask Siri "what did they say?" The Apple TV will rewind 10/15 seconds of the stream and trigger subtitles temporarily.

Another tip to go along with the voice control you talked about. You can also use the exact same commands hands-free, if you have another nearby Apple device like an iPad or HomePod or Apple Watch. I use this all the time when I want to get up to go to the other room and I just call out to Siri to pause the TV. The HomePod is perfect for this because it's equipped with long range beam-forming microphones; and it works from any HomePod in the house regardless of whether it's paired to the Apple TV for sound output or not. Some of the things you can say is: Hey Siri: Turn the Apple TV Off (Puts it to sleep) Pause the TV Resume playing on the TV Go back 45 seconds What did they say? Skip 5 Minutes All of that without ever having to touch the remote.

The eArc feature that allows users to AirPlay audio from games consoles to HomePods via Apple TV is never talked about! Such a good feature if, like me, you use stereo HomePods as your primary TV speakers.

Thanks for some good tips. I’ve been a long term user of the Apple TV, back from the original black box with silver, two button remote and I’ve owned at least one of every release since then. I didn’t know about the match content function. Hopefully this will resolve an occasional issue where content displays with very low contrast. My tip is actually an app pick. I’ve found the Plex Media Server very powerful. I can stream copies of my own media from a always on media PC, wirelessly to every tv in the house. Highly recommended!

Here's a tip to go along with what you were talking about with the Match Dynamic Range. So having it match the dynamic range and frame rate, as you showed are important. But you can add to it by going into the main TV resolution settings and changing the Apple TV to SDR. Even though you change it to SDR, because of the Match Dynamic Range setting, when playing something in HDR it will switch back. The benefit to this is to ensure that SDR is ALWAYS shown as SDR and that it never tries to tone-map the SDR to HDR. But even assuming the Match Dynamic Range setting truly does always keep the content in SDR when it's non-HDR, there's one place where it will NEVER change it: the Home Screen. The Home Screen will always try to show in HDR if HDR is selected. This has the result of making the Home Screen look a little washed out; not as bright or well defined. This may not be a big deal on TVs where the screen is extremely bright (like a QLED) - but it's really bad on a lower cost TV. Many TVs under $1,000 have panels that are not capable of truly reaching the minimum brightness needed for HDR (regardless of whether they show the HDR logo on the box and the input allows it). And so for TVs that can't go past 500 Nits of brightness, trying to browse through the Apple TV Home Screen in HDR mode can be very eye straining as it's so dim and washed out. But by changing the resolution setting to SDR, and then enabling Match Dynamic Range, the home screen will have full 4:4:4 color and look much brighter and easier to see.

Learn remote (Settings > Remotes and Devices > Learn Remote) is the best feature that wasn't mentioned in this video because it gives you dedicated remote skip buttons (specifically through "Set Up Playback Buttons") that are not available on the Siri remote.

Remotes are also flexible with the AppleTV. You can use most universal, tv, or receiver remotes to steer the AppleTV… but you can also teach the Siri remote to control volume on your tv or receiver.

what a fantastic video, thank you. I never understood the significance of apps in the front row of the Apple TV app before - I thought I was being smart by arranging all my streaming apps in a folder. Then, with a recent update, the Up Next feature was useless ... until I relocated my apps to the top row as you recommended. Exactly what I was after.

I recently bought Airpods 3rd Gen. I used to have a home theater system with multiple speakers, in terms of audio that was better than actually being in the best seat in a theater or at the Super Bowl for example. The newer Airpods are better than that particularly because each person has their own personal home theater system, with the exception that with a home theater system you can actually feel the difference, like it's live versus a recording. I'm currently sitting at home waiting for delivery of my 2022 Apple TV unit as a Christmas present, and educating myself so that when my wife gets home I'll have it all set up. But now watching this I'm thinking maybe it's better if I just connect it and let her set up her own thing because we have a unique situation. I'm American, native English speaker; my wife is Japanese, native Japanese speaker. Both of us use iPhone and iPad. Until now we've been using an old Playstation, though mostly her. If only one can log in with global settings where it's that one person's language and such, I rather it be her. But ideally I want all our stuff separated by login by language, country, content, and so forth.

Not sure if this is well known or not but as Caleb mentioned you can switch between apps by double pressing the TV button. But you can also close apps by swiping up on the click pad (if click and touch is on) or by quickly double pressing the top button (if Clickpad is set to click only). This can be helpful if you would like to restart an app (similar to closing out apps on an iPhone) or possibly to help with performance of the Apple TV (I’m guessing) if you have a lot of apps that were open but don’t need them all open anymore.

I highly recommend making Apple TV picture settings at 4K SDR and choose match content so the HDR doesn't affect the screen life span by maxing brightness

Plus I have the older Apple TV remote which frankly isn’t great - so the phone remote tends to be just as good. I’ve always felt the Apple TV is one of apples under the radar products. For a reasonable price, it gives you an excellent smart tv interface that is better than any integrated smart tv os I’ve seen(although lgs webOS is pretty good too).

Hi, I think it would be a great idea if you can revisit TVs that have had notable bugs in their software every 6 months or so to let the viewers know whether the the latest firmware has resolved those issues. Given that many new TVs have software issues when they are initially released and when you review them, your viewers can often go into a TV purchase somewhat blind. I’m sure it would be very valuable for many of us and be a popular series for your channel.

I love the "what did they say" voice feature....skips back and briefly turns on closed caption.

You can also stream from a NAS. As a weird caveat, I’ve found you cannot stream Apple content downloaded and saved, it only seems to work with the universal formats like .mp4. To play Apple content, it must be streamed through a phone or laptop then airplayed back to the AppleTV. I’ve been led to understand this has to do with DRM (not claiming it’s true, just what I keep hearing). The online community has some “fixes” for this but I’ve found most of them problematic and/or unusable.

I found that turning on Match Content features, the audio to my airpods max was heavily de-synced. No issues when turning it off however. Its a bummer because turning HDR on/off manually is quite a headache -.-

One important note with matching content/ frame rate… it does slow down switching n creates a black frame in between even with the newest TVs… especially annoying with short form videos like KZread… so you get a blank screen n running audio over n over.

I have the original sound bar, the Sonos base and two rear speakers. Is there anything I can do with my Sonos and my Apple TV 4K to maximize the quality of my sound?

I was hoping to know how to restart my apple tv just using the remote button in the video. I’ve seen it done somewhere but couldn’t seem to find it now.

This is a great video. Thanks a lot. I don’t know it is mentioned earlier in the bottom of the feedbacks or is it only my problem. I bought all models from the 160 MB to this last one. Most welcoming spec was the bluetooh inclusion for me. Because I hate typing with the remote. So when I buy a model first thing I do the bluetooth pairing with a keyboard then do the all other settings. For this last one, I did the same. Then I went using keyboard for search purposes. But a bad surprise happened with KZread. I cannot type into the search section with bluetooth keyboard. Which is the most important place to use the keyboard for me. Hope it will be fixed. Or am I missing something?

When you turn on match content and match frame rate it can cause very annoying breaks and delays if you are using KZread with ads.

I have my Apple TV 4K connected to HDMI 2 on my Hisense, and my Yamaha AV Receiver HDMI Out (with eARC/ARC) to the eARC/ARC HDMI port of the Hisense TV. I can use either remote for basic remote control. Awesome! The Apple TV 4K comes with the German Telekom Magenta TV plan, and has a specific remote for the Magenta App, and the buttons are backlit for crying out loud! Just brilliant! But I use Waipu TV plan, as the service and content quality is awesome for 12,99€/month and some 250 channel! The Hisense simply acts as a monitor, but have it connected to my satellite dish and Astra satellite, just in case for an internet blackout! I think the Apple TV 4K Box is one of the best things you can have nowadays for content consumption. My old Apple TV HD from 2015(!) - or 2014, can’t really remember - still providing everything to my old LG plasma which has been moved to my bedroom. People just don’t seem to be aware of the constant quality the Apple TV is providing. It just works, and is dead easy to use. I run mine with the Dev Beta program for ages. Never had a problem!

I'd be interested in seeing tv app performance to see which tv has the best in-tv app performance when streaming and best Ethernet performance.
